who left the stage that night as the winner? was it rick perry? does he remain the front-runner? >> i tell you, i think at the end of the day, both romney and perry came out of that about the same position they were when they went in. i do think that, you no he, perry is pretty thin skinned here. i mean, my guess is that what he's concerned about, alex, is an ad that was put up by ron paul. which tied him to al gore, because, of course, he supported al gore in 1988. but i wouldn't have -- i wouldn't have spent much time with ron paul to be honest with you. his real concern has got to be mitt romney. but the other thing that he's got to do is, look, it's so early in the process, he has got to prove to people that he can win a general election, that he's not so far out and crazy and radical as his book seems to indicate. >> listen, i'm supposed to go but i want you each to tell me really quickly who drops out first and when? pat first. >> i would guess the first dropouts would be huntsman and santorum but i think -- i think santorum will wait until the iowa caucuses and huntsman is

both candidates drew millions of dollars from fund-raisers last night. in new york city the president took in about $4.5 million, one fund-raiser at the home of sarah jessica parker and another featuring performances by alicia keys and mariah carey. meanwhile, romney raised money in obama's hometown of chicago, raking in more than $3 million at a hotel event for himself and fellow republicans, but the day began with both candidates in the battleground state of ohio delivering dueling speeches on the economy. >> people want to know how his economic policies have worked and how they performed, why they can talk to their neighbor and ask if things are better. talk to people you know that run a retail store or small manufacturer and say, did president obama's policies help put people back to work? or did they make it less likely for you to hire people? and i hear day in and day out, they feel this administration sees them as their enemy. >> governor romney and the republicans who run congress, believe that if you simply take away regulations and cut taxes by

president obama the winner last night, sir? >> no question. i thought he dominated governor romney. he exposed so many weaknesses. we watched governor romney play fantasy football with the america economy to fund the $7 trillion, $8 trillion. the only answer is that he was a good businessman over the last 25 years. but i tell you what, wasn't very good as governor of massachusetts. because he left massachusetts with a $1 billion debt. and went from 35th in job creation to 47th. i was with governor duval patrick and wonder why he never talks about the time as govern nor of massachusetts. he did such a bad job that he had less than a 38% approval rating and could not run for re-election. the president had a great night. >> governor romney talked briefly about the record with a balanced budget and negated to say it's in the constitution for that to take place. let's bring up the polling. you have cbs poll. i believe a cnn poll. the fast polls indicating the president won the debate, agreeing with you but when asked who would do a better i don't know with the economy, at least in the cb

-- what did you learn from the voters on tuesday night? >> well, i learned that republicans picked up seats in congress, held onto the senate, picked up statehouses across the country, but we lost the presidency. and so, it's a bit of a mixed message. i think people are saying that conservative principles still account for the majority of public opinion in our country. i don't think the american people want to sign up for the green new deal. i don't think they want to sign up for getting rid of coal or oil or gas. i don't think they're interested in medicare for all or higher taxes that would slow down the economy. but they do want to see a change in leadership in the white house, apparently, at this stage. and so, it's a message which says, all right, a change in leader, but we're not going to be turning a sharp left turn in terms of public policy. >> so, what do you believe joe biden's mandate should be? you heard what he thought his mandate was last night, bringing the country together, number one, and then he talked about some issues t
